Altius Link Co., Ltd. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Masatoshi Naya), whose group company Altius Inspiro, Inc. (Headquarters: Makati City, Philippines, President and CEO: Ryu Ohashi, hereinafter referred to as Inspiro) provides contact center services for North America and the Asia-Pacific region, has won the "2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Award" in the Network Security category for the second consecutive year.

About the "Fortress Cybersecurity Award"

The "Fortress Cybersecurity Award" is an international award program hosted by the Business Intelligence Group, an organization established with the mission of evaluating outstanding talent and achievements in the business world. It recognizes and awards innovation, effectiveness, and advanced initiatives in the field of cybersecurity.

This award targets companies and projects that confront increasingly complex digital security threats through creative thinking, advanced engineering, and tangible results, going beyond mere compliance.

Inspiro's Evaluation Points

Inspiro drove a 12-month security transformation centered on the transition from traditional perimeter-based defense to cloud-based SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and zero-trust architecture. As a result, the company was recognized for reducing the click-through rate in phishing attacks from 15% to 0% and improving threat identification time by an average of 92%.

Building on these achievements, Inspiro is promoting the practical and controlled utilization of AI to bridge the speed gap between modern attackers and defenders. Through these initiatives, the company aims to improve detection capabilities, accelerate analysis, enhance visibility, speed up triage, and increase response efficiency. This will further strengthen the safety and reliability of its globally deployed services by reducing risks and enhancing resilience.

Comment from President and CEO Ryu Ohashi

We recognize this award as an acknowledgment of our efforts to enhance cybersecurity and the results we have achieved. Furthermore, winning for the second consecutive year reflects the consistency and effectiveness of our initiatives, such as improving threat detection and response speed and significantly reducing operational risks.

One of the key factors behind these achievements is the utilization of advanced technologies, including AI. AI is transforming the way threats are detected and defended against, and by incorporating these into a disciplined security framework, we are achieving sustainable and effective results.

These initiatives also demonstrate our strong commitment to providing safe and uninterrupted services while protecting our employees, client companies, and partner companies. We will continue to evolve and strive to build a more resilient organization capable of responding not only to current challenges but also to future changes.
